dasu Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) cara, i can understand the desperate times calls for desperate measures approach. im there too. there is no clear and singular path out of PANDAS. you will do anything to see an improvement. so i am glad you can be the guinea pig for BRAVO. but for that money i would stop with the abx. my son just had his T&A, and the doctor claimed that research shows prophylactic penicillin does little good for PANDAS. what to believe? there is something "out there" that is changing the way our bodies develop and function. i look at my parents and they have no allergies or health issues, both grew up poor and dirty, my dad without indoor plumbing. ive got slight allergies. and my kids...well i am here, arent i? and its not just me, my parents look around at their friends grandchildren and everyone is reporting the same thing: problems. severe allergies, seizures, depression, OCD, bi-polar, odd developmental issues. my parents scratch their heads, the main worry of their day was polio and rheumatic fever. i know a family that adopted an orphan from africa at age 5 or so. he barely got enough to eat, never had any abx or immunizations. now living in america, the boy avoids many of the illnesses the other kids get. i know its a one off, but it makes me think...

cara615 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Funny - I was just pondering the same line of thinking the other day. Especially with Autism being 1 out of 42 boys now. There is a change big time in our human health and its totally environmental (I'm including diet in that bucket). its downright scary actually. But as for BRAVO you can bet Ds will be off abx when I give him the yogurt. i am certainly not going to waste my money on this. The good thing is that if it doesn't work, Bradstreet should offer to buy it from me. He did with my friend IRL that bought a year's supply and it did not work out for her child. But since every child with PANDAS is different..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3bmom Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 It definitely comes down to the gut. Please watch the video I just posted under inflammation and neurology. It explains why this next generation is falling apart. Pass it on too! Hands down we need to replenish bacteria and I for one feel caught in the vicious cycle. I have read that it is difficult to have recolonization if you are deficient in your individual tapestry of vitamins, especially zinc. Maybe someone with knowledge of this can pipe in. I think this is the same for fecal transplants. Maybe you need to match the patient with one of the 3 transplant options, although I will volunteer as a guinea pig for the super model one! Did you read the Forum article from the NIH on throat bacteria? I want to replenish with that but due to our kids auto-immune response, or imbalances, will it just trigger him? Curious of your results. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
